DWA-192 USB Wireless Network 5 GHz Interface Connection Speed Severely Degraded
by Stephen Morris 09 Nov '17

09 Nov '17

Hi, Having downloaded an updated version of the driver from Github that now compiles and runs with the 4.13 kernel I have looked at the wifi properties under Gnome and they tell me the connection speed is 450Mb/sec which is about the connection speed I get under Windows 10 with the 2.4 GHz interface. Under Windows 10 the 5 GHz interface connects at the documented speed of 1.3 Mb/sec. If I use the 2.4 GHz interface for the device gnome tells me the connection speed is 252 Mb/sec. Why are the connection speeds in Fedora so degraded? regards, Steve

Converting a Fedora installation from BIOS to UEFI
by Patrick O'Callaghan 08 Nov '17

08 Nov '17

I have a new external drive with Windows 10, cloned from my working QEMU/KVM setup under F26. I want the option of continuing to use it as a VM, or occasionally dual-booting directly into Windows. The VM is set up to use UEFI but my host is running under BIOS, so I need to change one of them to match the other. I prefer to change the host to UEFI as that is the preferred method for running VMs. So how do I go about it? If I simply boot using UEFI I get the EFI menu with a bunch of block devices and no \EFI directory, which I think means that I need to do something specific in Fedora. Is this some magic incantation with Grub? The Grub man pages are not clear. poc

Cannot install bugzilla on F26: wrong error saying /var/lib/bugzilla/data/params.json file does not exist but it exists
by Frédéric 08 Nov '17

08 Nov '17

Hi, I am trying to install bugzilla. checksetup.pl is happy, the http server is running (http://localhost shows something) but http://localhost/bugzilla shows this strange message: The /var/lib/bugzilla/data/params.json file does not exist. You probably need to run checksetup.pl. at Bugzilla/Config.pm line 334. Compilation failed in require at /usr/share/bugzilla/index.cgi line 15. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/bugzilla/index.cgi line 15. However file /var/lib/bugzilla/data/params.json do exist!

network-online.target appears to be very much broken
by Sam Varshavchik 07 Nov '17

07 Nov '17

privoxy.service most certainly has: Wants=network-online.target After=network-online.target I'm staring at this service file, right now. I have privoxy binding to an internal IP address, of course: listen-address 192.168.0.1:8000 However, privoxy just failed to start for me, after a reboot. 2017-11-04 09:16:52.710 7f8d7a298700 Fatal error: can't bind to 192.168.0.1:8000: Cannot assign requested address Would anyone care to guess what the problem is (no need to mention the obvious, one-word answer, although I'd fully agree with it), given that: Nov 4 09:16:52 shorty systemd[1]: Started Network Manager Wait Online. This was, in syslog, **BEFORE** the lines that were logging failures to start due to the IP addresses not being assigned. I also determined that this is not a privoxy-specific issue, since I found another message in syslog, after this one, that reported a failure to bind to the IP address in question. 192.168.0.1 is a static IP address. DHCP is not in the picture here. I created bug 1509544 for this, but I am not holding any illusions, here.

Off topic: google hangouts
by Amadeus W.M. 05 Nov '17

05 Nov '17

Sorry for the off topic, but couldn't find a solution to this on the web, so I'm trying here one last time before I give up. In short, gmail and google hangouts used to see my camera and I was able to do video conferencing, but for about a month google says no camera detected. The camera is attached via a usb caption device and uses the usbtv driver, which in turn uses v4l2. The driver loads, I have /dev/video0 with the right permissions 10) root:~> ls -l /dev/video* crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 0 Nov 3 22:37 /dev/video0 and I can see myself with tvtime, xawtv and cheese. However neither google nor skype detect my camera. I'm guessing it's some permission problem, or they just stopped supporting video under linux. Does anyone have any insight on this? Thanks!

Razer Orochi Gaming Mouse Doesn't work in Fedora 26 with Bluetooth Enabled
by Stephen Morris 05 Nov '17

05 Nov '17

Hi, I have just purchased this mouse for gaming use (mainly under windows). The mouse is both wired and wireless enabled via bluetooth. I have purchased a bluetooth 4.1 dongle as my pc doesn't have bluetooth and I have been able to pair the mouse to the dongle under Windows 10 and I am able to use it wirelessly, and been able to use the mouse wired when I don't want the power saving built into the mouse. Under Fedora 26 I cannot get bluetoothctl to see the mouse. Bluetooth is enabled and bluetoothctl can see my dongle and can see localhost.localdomain and my TV (even though the TV has not been paired with the dongle) but cannot see the mouse. Lsusb displays info on the device id github documents as the id used by Razer devices. The github documentation indicates the service is designed to be used via xdg-autostart, but I'm not sure what this means. As I was not able to get the mouse working wirelessly via bluetooth I downloaded and installed the Razer Repository for Fedora 26 (they have repositories for Rawhide and Fedora 25 as well). I then installed their configuration applications for the mouse which both run fine but they cannot connect to the required service. I have also installed the kernel driver which autoinstalls via dkms (dkms tells me the kernel driver is installed) and I have installed their daemon user space service. When I try to enable the service systemctl tells me it cannot find the service. To remedy this I (possibly this should not have been done) placed a link to the service in /usr/lib/systemd/system which then allowed systemctl to enable the service. Having done this I tried to start the service but it failed to start. Systemctl status openrazer-daemon.service produced the message 'dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported: Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11' , what does this message mean and what do I need to do to get the mouse working wirelessly? regards, Steve

Understanding VPN client options
by Alex 05 Nov '17

05 Nov '17

Hi, I have a fedora26 desktop and would like to use a VPN to browse the Internet. What are my options? Do I need to connect to a VPN server service which then proxies my request to the remote site? Are any of the "free" VPN services legit, or do they all do it in exchange for something like either privacy or some browser plugin that's required? The client VPN documentation available with the fedora25 docs is confusing: https://docs-old.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/25/html/Networking_Guide/se… Where is this "Super key"? I know how to use Settings->Network to "Add a VPN" but I don't have an endpoint.
